About this study
The goal of this research study is to learn if an 8-week produce prescription program (in partnership with a local urban farm) can increase fruit and vegetable consumption in overweight teens and improve their blood pressure and weight. The main questions are:
- Is a produce prescription program in overweight teens feasible?
- Will a produce prescription with educational videos increase weekly fruit and vegetable intake?
- Will a produce prescription with educational videos improve blood pressure and weight for height?
Read more
Researchers will compare the teens' fruit and vegetable intake, blood pressure and weight for height before and after the produce prescription. Researchers will also see how feasible it is by measuring the number of produce prescriptions are picked up by the families and how many educational videos are viewed.
Participants will:
- complete questionnaires related to their diet and nutrition
- measure their blood pressure and weight at the beginning and end of the study
- obtain weekly produce prescriptions
Read the detailed description
The overall objectives of this study are to (1) assess the feasibility of produce-prescription in partnership with a local urban farm (Sanctuary Farm) and to (2) determine if an 8-week produce prescription combined with four 20-minute educational videos improves weekly fruit and vegetable intake and improves BMI and BP in adolescents with dysfunctional adiposity. We hypothesize that implementing a produce prescription program in partnership with a local urban farm is feasible and can potentially overcome barriers to healthy eating. Our team of clinicians and health educators has extensive experience leading dietary intervention studies and community-engaged, patient-centered research.
